just a note at the high level
o anyone who thinks rsync is not gonna do well for the scaling we are
likely to see in the next year+ is smoking some strong optimism.
we're only at 5k objects today, three months into the game.
o but we do not know the long term scaling characteristics of the
current rsync scheme. http etc are not likely to scale any better.
o we could get much better rsync performance with a trivial change at
the rirs.
o we are currently constructing some measurement experiments. on the
order of 500k to 1m roas. we need some points on the curve not bs
and fud in powerpoint.
o we are already playing with a bittorrent experiment for a number of
reasons, mainly because its model is so different. you have seen
the initial results. the code is open.
o but we are suspicions and curious creatures, so folk are already
discussing mechanisms for v2, mechanism agility, ... to be deployed
in a year or three.
we now return you to the ppt and fud channel of your choice. but i am
sure the channel will be transported over dns and bgp. :)
